Ya, but with the shows starting at 8PM, you have a LOT of time to sleep during the day. It is in Vegas after all. I'm not sure I would want to be dancing outside at Noon either.

The beginning of their set, was without a doubt, the most intense moment of my life. That throbbing bass shook my mind, body, and soul to it's core and beyond.

Tonight I listened to a lot of electronic music as a warm-up for Basscannon, although I stayed on the chill side of WOMP for the most part.
In particular, I wanted to write a bit about BT - I'm about 2/3 of the way through These Hopeful Machines, and I can honestly say that I never get tired of listening to BT.
My first BT album was ESCM which I bought back in 1998. I remember having to mail order it from HMV.com since none of the local stores would stock it. BT's approach to electronic music on that album and his previous one, Ima, can best be described as experimental (for the time).
As his career progressed he started adding in more traditional instruments to his songs although he still has more or less produced trance and techno. There have been some diversions (like This Binary Universe and the soundtrack for Monster), but even those I have thoroughly enjoyed.
Maybe I'm just a BT fanboy, but I've always enjoyed how he's managed to blend electronic music with rock and other genres, and how he's always has his own distinct sound that doesn't respect any boundaries save those he sets for himself.
Is anyone else on this board into BT at all? Or am I just a freak?

You would think that type of post would be accompanied by a track you particularly enjoy.
Ya know, for those of us that never delved in to BT.
I can honestly say that other then whatever hits he may have had, I've never listened to him.

I only know BT because he had a song on the game amplitude and all this talk of him is making me want to dig out my ps2 and play it...

So tonight I wanted to post a bit about Basement Jaxx. I'm not really a fan of their newer stuff but I thoroughly enjoy their first 3 albums. They generally produce fun, dancey house music.
The reason I first checked out Basement Jaxx was that I read an interview back in 1998 of another EDM producer (I don't even recall who it was now), and the response to the interview question of "so who are you listening to lately" included Basement Jaxx.
Thus I purchased Remedy, which is probably still my favorite Basement Jaxx album if I had to pick one.
Rooty had a bit more of an edge to it, but was still a lot of fun. There were a few duds on the album, and they went a bit too far with "Get Me Off" which could have been fun in the same way that Nine Inch Nails' "Closer" is fun, had it been better executed.
(Anyone who's ever danced with someone to the song Closer will know what I'm talking about)
Kish Kash was heading further into hit-or-miss territory for me, and subsequent Basement Jaxx albums haven't interested me enough to actually justify the purchase cost.
A brief list of tracks that still make me want to get up and dance, even a decade later (albums in parens):
Rendez-Vu (Remedy)
Red Alert (Remedy)
Romeo (Rooty)
Where's Your Head At (Rooty)
Good Luck (Kish Kash)

Kids are really getting out of control with their droogs these days. Like mrlahey recently said, MDMA is taking over the world.

If people were taught to be responsible with their high dro0gz I feel that this kind of stuff would happen less often. People will take drugs no matter what, might as well try and prevent them from killing themselves.

People will never be taught to be responsible with drugs because they are only taught not to do them. It's the same mindset as only teaching teens about abstinence instead of proper protection.
